I doubt if any of those guys ever took a class in history or understand the implications of history.

Gone from the curriculum, along with Logic and Basic Science. Last Spring, when all the pine trees were blooming, my part of Wisconsin declared a *moderate air emergency*. Mostly, this was for the cities and mostly it was caused by an inversion that lasted just a few days during pollen season. A woman who teaches science to eighth graders was just beside herself, wondering why schools and all business were not canceled, since we were all at such risk. She never questioned that she had gone to work and then driven another eight miles out to my house. I mentioned pine pollen, showed her some photos that were being published from Alaska and other places of huge green pollen clouds descending on towns, mentioned why the Smokies are called smoky. She was amazed, stunned and uncomfortable, because it simply *had* to be automobiles and electric plants, etc. She made no distiction between urban and rural areas.

Forty years of agenda-driven education and media resulted in everyone who wanted to feel good about themselves planting acres of pine trees under government programs that give tax breaks for re-foresting former pastures/fields. We are encouraged in the same way to not log.

But trees are good. Technology is bad.

Everytime we have a heatwave in a major city we read news reports about global warming.

Everytime we have a flurry of hurricanes we get bombarded with global warming.

But, when we have a blizzard, you do not hear a thing.

When we have a cold-snap, you do not hear about warming.

Liberals are opportunists --- and more and more people are catching onto their "cry wolf" hysteria.
